The young defender has the ability to play on either side of the defence in a full-back position, and has done this at both club and international level – as the Australian born represents Wales.

Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler stated, “For a club like us who needs players who cover certain positions, it is optimal to have a player like Gethin.

“He can play both full-back positions. He is right-footed but played games for Barnsley on the left side.”

Fleetwood currently sith 12th in League One, but the gap between their current position and the play-offs is a manageable eight points.

Football Insider verdict:

Gethin Jones is certainly an up and coming talent. His diverse range of playing options makes him versatile for his new manager Uwe Rosler, and having spent a season on loan in the Championship, the young Welsh international will be able to handle life in League One. Consistent match playing time is what is needed for the young full-back to take his game to the next level.
